The raw emotional simplicity captivates me the most, and 4 of the tracks from live performances, showcase Eva & her band at their height of great performances.The pure beauty of Eva's music is that it transcends all boundaries, is uplifting, has remained virtually unscathed and is a great remembrance of her musical integrity, ability and soul.She chose songs to sing based on her pure love of those songs, their lyrical content and how they made her feel.Her power is in the way she internalized and transformed each and every song into to her own unique and dynamic expression.

I'll never forget, on one occasion in the studio, during the making of Eva's "Time After Time" album, when Chris pulled out a tape of one of her intimate vocal performances and proceeded to tell me how whenever he plays the song it's hard for him to hold back his emotions, so he had to warn me ahead of time how "heavy" the tune was for him to listen to.Talk about "HEAVY"....... it was simply mesmerizing!
If you haven't already experienced Eva's talent, just listen to any of her vocals and you'll realize she's one of the most dynamic, amazingly soulful, and incredibly gifted people you've ever heard.I can't finish this "11 star" review without giving extreme "kudos" to Eva's family, whom I've never met, and the Eva Cassidy Band for upholding her personal and musical integrity, amazing talent and her spirit.
